King Solomon's sink - and I'm in Ash-kell-lown - and Obama's not visiting here
Also - thank G-d no more rockets today ...
AND
NOW FOR SHABBOS-
This shabbat is called the GREAT Shabbos – a nickname for the Shabbat before Passover - and I'm in a city on the Mediterranean and no one knows whether King David got RID of the Phillistines here or just conquered them after he beat Goliath and later became King.
How could he have received all the gold that Solomon used later when he built the Temple if he didn't get rid of those sea-marauders the Phillistines - who were living here on the coast where I am for Shabbat on a religious study retreat - or TURN THEM INTO BELIEVERS and LOVERS of ISRAEL!
When Solomon his son built the Great Temple he also built a GIANT sink for Priest to wash - and the Talmud argues if it was shaped as a globe - or square on the bottom and rounded at the top.
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach said that
ON PASSOVER AT THE SEDER WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE - TO INVITE OTHERS -
BECAUSE OF WHAT WE RECEIVED FROM G-d BEFORE
BUT WHEN WE PERFORM THE "SEARCH FOR CHOMETZ" THE NIGHT BEFORE PASSOVER
WE SHOULD SEARCH FOR WHAT WE ARE MISSING
SEARCH FOR THE GOOD IN OTHERS
AND
THEN ESPECIALLY WHEN EATING THE AFIKOMAN - WE ASK G-D FOR
ALL THAT WE REALLY NEED
Rabbi Berel Wien (originally from Chicago now in Jerusalem) wrote that
the Great Shabbat got it’s name because ALL Shabbat’s are great – only the one before Passover was the FIRST for all the about-to-be-the Jewish Nation.
AND it is customary to read the Hagada this shabbat in PREPARATION for RECEIVING - and
for GIVING - just as we receive from G-d and we GIVE BACK to him by
Living the Jewish life and Values He gave us
Shabat Shalom from Ashkelon
